Fenrir walked through the forest while regenerating the holes in her body and rubbing her aching neck.
" Aw man, my head is killing me. Lucifer's last attack took everything out of me. I thought I was winning until that mark appeared on his neck and for a second there his power increased. What the hell was that anyways ? I guess that was his trump card "She ask herself.
Nothing made sense to her right now. She returned to the campsite where Lucifer was and he was there eating meat.
" Look like I won "He said and took another bite of his meat.
" That's because you whipped out your trump card and what was that Mark on your neck anyways "
" Don't know " Lucifer said.
" Well whatever it is, I got a chill up my spine just by looking at it and my instincts were telling me to get away from you as soon as possible. Anyway we should get some sleep tonight is going to be a long journey "
Fenrir decided to go to sleep while Lucifer stayed up. The next day Fenrir wakes up and sees Lucifer knitting clothes using his 「Thread Weaver Skill 」. Over his suit is a long black coat with lime green outline and a large hood.
" What are you making? "Fenrir asked.
" Clothes just in case our get damage, here "
Lucifer threw her a white coat with a fur collar. She put on the coat and tired it around her neck like a superhero cape.
" It's quite comfortable, where did you get the first to make this ? "
" I shave the hair from your head, arms and legs "
" What ?! You gotta be kidding me ?! "
Fenrir hold her head and check her hair., She was shocked to know that Lucifer shaved off her hair and while she was sleeping.
" Don't worry they grew back instantly, makes my work easier "
" So you're saying that I'm a hairy " Fenrir got angry and punched Lucifer's head straight into the ground.
" You're an asshole ,Do I look like a sheep to you ?"
Fenrir walked away upset and Lucifer pulled his head out of the ground.
- Did I do something wrong? -
He asked himself and looked at her with his emotionless faceThe two traveled through the sky again on Lucifer glider board. The rainforest of the treants came into sight so Lucifer landed outside the forest.
" The air here is stagnant, I can hardly see inside " Lucifer said as he returned his glider board to his Storage ring.
" The last time I came here was 40 years ago so I know a bit about the place "
" Forty years ? How old are you? "
" Lucifer it's not polite to ask a woman their age "
" Nevermind, I'll send some of my crows in to scout ahead "
Lucifer's shadow widens and a crow flies out of the darkness of his shadow. He gave the order to his crow and flew into the forest. Using 「Link Sense 」 he was able to see what they saw. The crow flies through the dark depths of the forest until suddenly the plants and trees attack them. The crow was devoured and their connection with Lucifer was cut off.
" My crow was devoured "Lucifer said as he took out his twin pistol.
He and Fenrir advance through the forest. As they walked Lucifer kept a keen perception of his surroundings.
" The level of Magicles inside here is quite thick. Keep your eyes peeled, we are surrounded by enemies who could attack us at anytime " Fenrir said as she looked around.
Lucifer then came across a feather that belonged to one of his crows. He slightly opened his right eye and looked to his right before closing it again. Suddenly multiple vines reached down and tried to grab him. Lucifer jumped away then started to shoot at the vines. Fenrir was also being attacked by vines and she used her sharpened claws to cut them away. The vines retreated leaving Fenrir and Lucifer together, they both stood back to back waiting for the enemy's attack again.
"Lucifer I just realized something "
" That the forest is shifting "
" How did you know? "Fenrir asks in surprise.
" That feather earlier 50 meters away from where the crows originally devoured. There is no wind in here so the feather couldn't have possibly blown that far "
Lucifer deducing the situation surprised Fenrir.
- He figured that out from his first time here, Amazing -
Fenrir sensed danger and a wooden spike grew from the side of the tree and attacked her. The attack didn't stop there as more wooden spikes started to attack Lucifer and Fenrir. Like a professional gymnastic Fenrir kept backflipping around dodging the spikes while Lucifer vanished then reappeared then vanish then reappeared. Fenrir swinger her claws vertically and they generate a light slash that cut down the trees. Lucifer kept shooting the trees with bullets.
Suddenly the forest started to shake like there was an earthquake. faces and large mouths on the trees started to appear, Arms grew out from the side of the trees and they all uprooted themselves. Large monstrous Venus flytrap grew from the ground and a few large humanoid thorn bushes. Lucifer and Fenrir found themselves in the center of this uprising.
" Are you ready Lucifer? "
"Let's go "
The two of them charging into battle. Fenrir hair turned bright white again and she zigzag around like a flash chopping down trees with her sharpened claws. She was suddenly caught by vines and within seconds her body was blind from head to toe. The vines tried to squeeze her to death and she burst through it.
" Raaaaaaaaaaa "
She gave a power roar while discharging a large amount of lightning Fenrir flew toward the treants clad in white lightning in the form of a red eyed wolf.
Lucifer kept maneuvering around shooting at the trees. Each of his bullets kept blowing large holes in the face of the treants, killing them. Lucifer opens his eye and activates the 「Petrification」skill he got from the Basilisk. He petrified ten of them and finished them off using his bullets. More back attacks Lucifer and Fenrir at the same time.
" I've had enough of this ! "
" I've had enough of this !"
They shouted in union.
Fenrir charged her right claw and swung it vertically, cutting down trees for miles. Lucifer places his pistols back inside his ring and claws his ring hand with black flames. He shot the flame at the forest and within seconds the treant was burned to nothing. Lucifer and Fenrir walked side to side with each other together, at their backs the forest was engulfed in black flames.
The two of them stood at the edge of a cliff looking at the dried up forest before them. In the center of that forest is a tree that is much larger than the rest. It was standing at over 500ft in the air with no leaves and a black marking over its body.
" I guess that's what we are looking for "Fenrir said.
" Yeah the Spirit Tree Let's go "
Lucifer takes out his glider board and he takes off to the sky with Fenrir with him. Suddenly large brown roots reached height in the sky and starts attacking them violently.
" Hang on and don't let go " Lucifer said and he tried to maneuver his way around the roots.
His foot was grabbed by a root and he was pulled off his glider board. Lucifer and Fenrir fall from the sky and since Lucifer couldn't fly he didn't know what to do. Fenrir held him in arms and landed on the ground safely.
" Are you alright ?" She asked.
" I'm fine, You can put me down now "
Lucifer wormed his way out of her hand to stand back on his feet and fix his tie . He looked around and the place was completely silent.
" The attack as stopped " He said, Lucifer noticed that the treants stopped attacking as well, He also notices that the sun was going down.
" We advance tonight, I think it's much safer if we do so "
" Don't you think it's dangerous walking through the night? " Fenrir asked.
" I don't know that will be an issue look there " Lucifer points at the sky.
" The sun is going down. Plants absorb sunlight and water to create food for themselves through a process called photosynthesis. Treants are typically plants and no sunlight means no food "
" What are you getting at Lucifer? " Fenrir ask as she was confused but Lucifer breathes a sigh of disappointment and continued to explain.
" Haaaiz it means the treants draws energy from the sun and no sunlight means that they won't attack us while it is dark "Lucifer explain walking over to his glider board and picking it up.
" I get it now, If that's the case we should move now " Fenrir got up and smile .
